Problem was fixed timely. I placed a negative comment before, but there seems to be a miscommunication which was immediately remedied. Thanks to Matt Thomson for replacing the faulty camera.

I rang this company when an old alarm in my home began to make a bleeping noise. The system needed a reset code. I rang hoping to get some help.
only to be meet with, we don't keep the codes in the office ! If you want to book an engineer it will cost you 160 ! Really! I asked them to remove the alarm and it comes with a charge ! Do you self a favor and steer well clear and use another firm ,
If I was going to have an alarm fitted I would not use Brair security after the way I have been treated !

I had my Briar Security burglar alarm upgraded on 16 Dec 2020 by Simon. I was so pleased with job, that I felt he needed some acclaim. He did a really super job. We were in lockdown and he just got on with everything without any disturbance to our routine. We really didn't know he was there. He put in a new control unit and a new keypad, changed three PIRs, and installed a new bell box. Best of all, despite all the drilling and fitting of new boxes and units, there was no filling or repair work, or cleaning up to be done !!

Warning. Be careful with this firm. My mother who is 75 had an alarm installed a few years ago and had a contract with them. Due to financial issues she couldnt afford the maintenance contract and had to cancel. As they had tied her alarm into their iCloud which meant that the remote app wouldnt work. If she called them out to fix it it would have cost over 100. What a crooked way to keep people paying their maintenance contract. If you do use them make sure that you set your own access to the Risco app. She has now had to pay for a new alarm panel so she can set it remotely. Crooks!!!

We had new security system installed by Briars, who had looked after our old system, from start to finish very efficient. The engineer who installed was great, worked to install with minimum of fuss and explained the system and App in detail to our staff. Highly Recommended and have now booked them to install a new CCTV too. Leonard Brooks Paints Harlow
